C is for Cimeris

A full half of the demons I have researched start with the letter A or B. No joking. I have never figured that out really, but check out the various demonologies out there. There are a few left of the other letters though.

For C we have Cimeris. Also known as Kimaris, Cimeies, Cimejes, Cimeries, and Tuvries he is one of the more popular demons, appearing in the Ars Goetia, Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, even in Aleister Crowley's and Anton LeVey's works.

Cimeries is a great marquesse and a strong, ruling in the parts of Aphrica [Africa]; he teacheth perfectlie grammar, logicke, and rhetorike, he discovereth treasures and things hidden, he bringeth to passe, that a man shall seeme with expedition to be turned into a soldier, he rideth upon a great blacke horsse, and ruleth twentie legions.
- John Weyer, Pseudomonarchia Daemonum

Cimeries appears as a strong human male astride a large black house. He wields a huge two-handed sword that he carries into battle, which is often. He commands 20 legions (each legion of demons is 6,660 demons) that follow him to battle. He can be summoned by human generals, but his price is the decimation (sacrificing 1/10) of all the General's own troops. These men must be killed by the summoner himself.
Cimeries may also be summoned by a lone magic-user to learn the secrets of grammar, logic and rhetoric.

What a fun, interesting post. I am definitely going to follow you all month long. I can't help but draw similarities to the demon and Joseph Kony, raiding villages in Africa and stealing children to turn them into soldiers...
